Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Asparagus
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in length.
Finely mince the garlic clove and set it aside.
In a nonstick skillet, spray a light layer of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low. Push the asparagus to the side of the pan and pour the egg whites into the other half of the skillet.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the egg whites and asparagus. Allow the egg whites to set for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
Gently scramble the egg whites, mixing them with the asparagus, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
